Long time no see


It's busy days in Vancouver, and the blog suffers from that.
In short what has happened since I last wrote:
MET COLIN
I met with Colin who I studied with at Ã…rhus School of Business during my exchange in 2004 - he works south of the border (U S and A), but his parents live in White Rock outside of Vancouver.

WELCOMING PARTY
We had the welcoming party in our homebase March 9th, and all our customers and friends were there. We were power mingling, the homebase was blessed by a first nations elder, business cards were frequently exchanged and internships were offered from many corners. It was great fun!


PROJECT WORK
We have had two processes with our customer - first with around 20 employees, and later with the executives. We really enjoy the work - the BCGEU are so motivated for change and action, and we get so many opportunities. We have our own blog that you can follow if you're interested, and if you want to get the bigger team picture, you should check out the KP-outpost-blog.
Pictures from the process with the employees:


PODCAST - IMPORTED GOODS VS. SUSTAINABILITY
Yes, and we made our first podcast - the sound quality is really bad, but the content is quite good, so you should really try to see it and get the meaning. If you don't, then you can see it later at the outpost blog with a script of what people are saying. And also Simon K is working on improving the sound, so we might be lucky.

It was supposed to be a birthday post...

..but instead I too got a warning that my blog is registred as spam and will be blocked if they don't hear from me. So apparently Jo and I are perceived in the world of the internet as a spamming couple.

Anyways - I celebrated my 25th birthday Saturday by going to Whistler to snowboard and eating dinner at a really nice seafood restaurant. I had a wonderful day, and I am so happy both that I could in fact snowboard without being dead afterwards and also that I got 11 wonderful people to go out and eat with me. Thank you!



Today we started the project, which means it will be busy days from now on - Wednesday we will have a process with 16 employees at the BCGEU to find out more about where they are now and which dreams and needs they have. We have a separate blog for the project (or at least we will have when it is up and running), so I won't bother you all too much with it here. By the way you should check out the outpost-site soon (it is not compleetly up and running yet) at www.kaospilotoutpost2007.com.
